Popular Wingnut Blogger Appears To Advocate Assassination Of Foreign Leaders
February 19, 2007 -- 11:02 AM EST // // Post a Comment
Check out this screen grab of a post that was put up yesterday on wingnut Charles Johnson's popular and well-trafficked Little Green Footballs blog:
Yeah, so the title of the post really was
Definition of a Target-Rich Environment
...those targets, of course, being Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Syrian President Bashar Assad, and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Johnson, incidentally, has been feted by the mainstream media. He was recently named number 20 on Forbes's "Web celeb" list. Perhaps more such posts about targeting foreign leaders will move him up into the top ten and get him the sort of regular network booking Ann Coulter enjoys.
In fact, maybe it's time for Howard Kurtz to do a long profile of Johnson, just as he did of Michelle Malkin the other day, reserving the stuff about foreign leaders for the 18th paragraph. Oh, wait -- the Washington Post already profiled Johnson! My bad.
Update: Johnson has now responded; my response to his response is here. Don't miss all the bonus assassination calls from his readers!
